Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: All the ruvA, ruvB and ruvC mutants of Escherichia coli are sensitive to treatments that damage DNA, and are mildly defective in homologous recombination. It has been reported that the ruv mutants form nonseptate, multinuclear filaments after low doses of UV irradiation, dependent on the sfiA gene product. In vitro, the RuvAB complex promotes the branch migration of Holliday junctions, and RuvC...
